If you are using Copilot and it produces a MIT-licensed snippet of code, you are in plain violation of the license. It is wilful copyright violation.
- treis 4y agoA snippet by definition is not a substantial portion.

How it is interpreted depends on jurisdiction and more[0] Yes and like standard your cite says none of the interpretations would cover a snippet. >the commonly accepted 'safe bet' is any single line of the software.
